Chapter 52 Promise
It would be fine if I didn't hear it, but if I heard it and didn't teach her a lesson, I would feel very upset. It's not her turn to eat me, so why should I bully her?
The girl turned around and left the ward with a dark face.
Liu Chuxue calmly withdrew her gaze: "Mom, help my dad sit up."
The two of them had already heard what the elder brother at the door said. Mother Liu looked so distressed that she almost made Liu Chuxue laugh: "Okay, health is the capital of revolution. It's a good opportunity for us to take advantage of my father's help and take good care of our bodies in the next few days."
Hearing what her second daughter said, Mother Liu felt sad.
Even Liu's father felt uncomfortable. His wife and daughter had not had a good life with him over the years, but the family conditions were such and filial piety was more important than anything else, so sometimes he felt helpless.
Mother Liu wanted to say something more, but Father Liu stopped her: "The child is very filial. If you say too much, the child will feel uncomfortable."
Mother Liu thought about it and said: "Okay, then let's enjoy the blessing of our second daughter in advance."
As she spoke, her eyes became red, because she had given birth to three daughters in a row, and the villagers often laughed at her behind her back, saying all kinds of things about her.
She felt a little sorry for her own daughter. If the family had an older brother or younger brother, she wouldn't have to be a girl and have to show up in public and rack her brains to find solutions when things go wrong. While she sighed in her heart, a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
Her daughter is a capable one. So what if other families have sons? I'm afraid they are not as good as her daughter.
Liu Chuxue took out chopsticks from her bag and handed each of them a steamed bun made of two-grain flour. "Eat your fill and keep yourself healthy. When my dad is discharged from the hospital, live your life well. My sister and I are counting on you."
The two of them stopped pushing and said, "Okay, listen to my daughter."
Father Liu changed his previous sad expression and took a big bite of the steamed bun made of two-grain flour: "Mm, delicious, the chef's skill in steaming buns is really good."
He took another bite of the cabbage vermicelli stewed with meat, with a satisfied look on his face: "It's delicious, mother, you try it, daughter, you try it too."
Mother Liu picked up some food and ate it, sighing, "It was last year during the Chinese New Year when your grandmother was so kind that she let our family have a good meal of meat. This is the first time we've eaten meat since the beginning of the Chinese New Year."
Liu Chuxue felt bad when she heard this: "I will try my best to make our family live a good life. No matter what happens in the future, I will provide for your retirement."
When Liu's mother heard this, she was deeply moved: "Child, don't say this again in the future. Be careful that others hear it, otherwise you won't be able to find a good family."
Father and Mother Liu knew what their second daughter meant by "no matter what the future holds", but since ancient times, sons have been the ones to take care of the elderly, and not having a son has always been a concern for them. However, their second daughter's words made them feel warm in their hearts.
Of course Chuxue also knew what her mother meant. She was just afraid that others would spread the word, and when they were looking for a partner, the man’s family would have more concerns, which would affect the marriage.
In order to reassure Liu's mother, when she went to wash the dishes after dinner, she would take her mother with her, saying: mother and daughter work together and the work is not tiring.
In fact, I wanted to find a quiet place to tell her the truth. I had to give them some time to adapt to my changes.
I found a place and told Liu's mother what happened in the moat today. I naturally skipped the things that couldn't be said: "Mom, if you don't believe me, I'll take you there another day."
Mother Liu's eyes were filled with guilt: "This burden shouldn't have fallen on you, but it's your fate to be our daughter."
Seeing her like this, Liu Chuxue said, "Mom, in the future, we sisters will work hard to be the pride of you and Dad, and let those who laugh at our family envy you for having so many good daughters."
